Summary:

The city of Roxboro, North Carolina is home to 12 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with many facing socioeconomic challenges as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

Among the standout schools in Roxboro are Roxboro Community School, a public charter high school that ranks among the top 75 high schools in North Carolina, and Bethel Hill Charter, a public charter elementary school that ranks among the top 180 elementary schools in the state.
